I don't have anything other than about three pennies to my name, so don't sue. But I will not permit people using the original ideas or characters in this story for their own uses without my consent. Good day.
Mom was...a human? I couldn't believe it. But why...how?
Of course! Dad must have used his ring, that had to be it. So I held my breath and waited to see what my parents would do.
Dad stared at Mom. Mom stared at Dad. Then slowly, timidly, their faces began to get closer and closer...and they kissed. At first, it was a timid, shy little peck and then it sort of...developed. In my room, I cheered so loud I'm shocked that they didn't hear me.
Of course, they seemed rather preoccupied, if you catch my drift.
In a rush of excitement, I raced to the phone to call Reiko.
Unbeknownst to Kiiroishi, Reiko was rushing to call him. The only thing she regretted about the whole incident is that she wouldn't be able to see the look on mon boy's face when he heard. Oh well, she could always enjoy the various expressions her imagination came up with.
To Reiko's surprise, the phone began ringing as soon as she got to it. Wondering what it could be, Reiko picked up the phone only to hear mon boy cry out a bunch of things so fast she had no idea what he'd said.
"...Um, repeat that?" The young brunette asked. She heard Kiiroishi mumble something under his breath, but he ended up answering her anyway. "You won't believe this, Reiko! My parents are out there kissing!"
Reiko almost dropped the receiver in surprise. "Say what?" Kiiroishi laughed. "Yeah, and my mom has turned into a human...uh, sort of. She's still got ears and tail along with her eyes." The hybrid happily explained.
"But I never thought they..." Reiko muttered, before Kiiroishi interrupted. "They're coming in, call ya later!"
Reiko sighed in exasperation as Kiiroishi hung up the phone. Stupid mon boy...
Pata watched with interest at her new "sister". Didn't Ruki-Momma say that she liked that guy? Hm...
Jenrya gulped as he saw his son sitting in the living room. Had he seen them? Oh no...
Of course, he would have to explain this to Kiiroishi sooner or later...it's not like he wouldn't notice that Renamon wasn't exactly a Renamon anymore. Then to his surprise, Renamon quickly changed back.
Renamon smiled at him in a way that indicated she was very amused. "Don't worry, Jen. I can change back. Would you mind if I talked to him?" The yellow fox inquired the blue haired man. Jenrya shook his head. Personally, he was kind of relieved the heat was off of him. "No problem."
Renamon stepped into the living room, barely making a noise. Her son looked up at her with a large grin on his face, but then it suddenly disappeared. "What? But I thought..." Her young son sputtered in confusion.
"You thought I was human?" Renamon inquired, and the blonde boy nodded. Renamon affectionately ruffled the boy's hair. "I can be if I desire to." The fox calmly explained, but then paused, unsure of how to explain this situation to the confused boy. "Your father and I..."
"I already know, Mom." The young boy said suddenly. He smiled at his mother's surprised expression. "After all, it's not like I didn't suspect. I've known you guys for thirteen years now."
"That's true..." Renamon remarked, to herself more than to her spawn. "So then, you don't object?"
"Nope!" Kiiroishi declared, shaking his head furiously. "No way. You're happy, and that's all that matters."
Renamon tightly hugged the blonde, who snuggled up against her like he was a small child. Happiness...
"Thank you." Renamon whispered as the boy began to finally fall asleep. Jenrya quietly walked into the room.
"He's asleep." Renamon reported. Without a word, Jenrya and Renamon carried their sleeping son to his room.
Ruki Makino stretched her arms before she sat in the driver's seat. She, Takato, Reiko and Pata were going to see Renamon and Jenrya and share the good news with them. They'd decided to adopt Pata. After the Hellmon fiasco, Pata and Reiko had refused to be separated. And after what they'd been through, neither Takato nor Ruki had the heart to attempt to separate them anyway. Ruki also had to admit that she'd grown really soft on the little blonde girl, who was energetic enough to even challenge Reiko, which was an amazing feat. The ride to the Lee household turned out to be rather peaceful, considering that Ruki wasn't letting Takato near the wheel with his horrendous driving ability. Instead, Takato was playing with the two girls. Ruki smiled to herself, she'd have to get pictures of that later.
Ruki was met with quite a surprise as she saw a tall blonde woman run to her. Then she realized that this woman wasn't exactly a woman...in the corner of her eye, she also saw Shuchion and Hirokazu who had just driven up also gape in shock. On the other hand, Kiiroishi's eyes were lit up with mischievous delight, and Jenrya seemed very happy.
"Renamon?" Ruki whispered. She was received a brief nod in confirmation.
Already guessing the methods behind this transformation, Ruki practically leapt out of the car to hug her partner. Reiko, Takato and Pata calmly walked out, followed by Guilmon and Neuvemon.
"Reiko!" Kiiroishi cried, leaping up to hug her. Reiko stood still, staring at Ruki and Renamon.
Kiiroishi grinned at her. "I told you." Reiko stuck her tongue out at the boy. Behind her, Pata burst into giggles, catching the attention of the boy.
"What's she doing here?" Reiko smiled. "Meet Pata Matsuki." The brunette proudly declared.
Pata giggled and ran up to hug Kiiroishi. Reiko chuckled to herself at her friend's dumbstruck face.
In the bushes, Toge sadly watched.
Ruki, Renamon, Shuchion, and Lopmon were in the living room talking about what had happened last night. Ruki holding a glass of soda, Shuchion clutching some milk as Lopmon sat in front a glass of it, and Renamon sipped on some cool water. She still didn't really take to many human beverages.
"So you can change back?" Shuchion asked.
"Yes." Renamon said, placing her glass down. Her skin and hair changed back into golden fur, and her gloves lengthened as her fingers became paws and claws.
"Amazing..." Lopmon whispered. "I believe that the soverign would have quite a fit." All of the women laughed.
"Renamon...we are still partners, right?" Renamon smiled at her redheaded Tamer. "Of course, Ruki."
Ruki smiled fondly, remembering old things. "That's good to know. I wondered, after Ice Devimon..."
"I will never leave you. You're always going to be my Tamer. No matter happens." Renamon confirmed.
Shuchion languidly looked at the two. "What if you'd gotten another Tamer?"
Both digimon and Tamer considered this. "Then I'd be kicking Ice Devimon in the groin while trying to pry apart Jenrya and Renamon." Ruki stated matter-of-factly. Renamon smiled. "Well...Jen as my Tamer would be interesting..." Ruki scowled and stuck out her tongue at her partner and everyone else laughed.
Takato and Hirokazu were having the time of their lives. "So..." Hirokazu said, plopping a hand on the bluehead's shoulder. Jenrya glared at him, obviously irritated. "Come on, Hirokazu. It was perfectly innocent." he muttered.
He very much regretted having mentioned the previous night to his friends. Oh, and when Terriermon found out...
"Perfectly innocent, he says. Now you can tells us, Jen...really." Hirokazu teased.
"Yeah, we won't say anything." Takato swore. Jenrya chased them out and went to find someone sane.
I noticed something behind Reiko and me. As I managed to shake off Pata, she went bounding for the bushes. Out of them came a flying Culumon and a startled Toge. "Pata!" Toge gasped.
"Toge, what are you doing here?" Reiko asked. Toge sighed. "Kiiroishi...Pata...everyone's okay."
"Okay, culu!" Culumon echoed. Pata grabbed Culumon and hugged him tight. "I missed you, Lord Culumon!" They then ran off to play.
"They're okay?" I asked Toge. She smiled. "We've found a home, too...I wanted to ask Pata..."
Toge faltered, and her voice grew sad. "She's happy to be here, isn't she?" We both looked at Pata, playing. Indeed, she seemed to love it here. She ran up to Ruki, who was coming outside and hugged her hard.
I saw Toge choke back a sob. "Then I guess she'll stay here." Toge whispered, her voice thick.
"Well, I've got to go. But you take this." Toge told me, handing me a small card with an address written on it. Pretty close to where the Hypnos building had been. It must be where they would be living...
"Come by sometime." Toge said. "And tell Pata good bye for me. She can come, too." Then Toge waved and ran down the street. "Wait!" I cried after her. I don't know if she heard or not. But I saw her crying.
I put the card in my pocket and ran to the back of the house with Reiko, Culumon and Pata.
Half an hour or so later, Pata and Culumon had run inside to try and get all the grown ups to play. Reiko and I just lounged out, our backs to the wall behind us. We didn't talk for a long time, just sat there enjoying the quiet.
"Mon boy, I never got to say thank you." Reiko said. I turned to look at her -- and she was blushing!
"It's no big deal...I mean, you would've done the same thing for me, right?" I asked her, refusing to look at her.
"Yeah, I guess so..." Reiko teased. "Or would I?" She asked. I pouted, and she laughed.
Then she kissed me.
Not anything like the way my parents had last night, just a peck. I wasn't expecting it, but it wasn't a bad thing.
Nope. Not a bad thing at all. Then suddenly, Reiko was laughing at me again. "You're cute when you blush."
Then she giggled and ran into the house. I scrambled up and ran after her. "I'm not blushing!"
Then I noticed everyone smiling at me. I felt my burn, and went sulking into the house.
"Aww..." I heard Ruki and Shuchion mutter. I was so going to get Reiko back for that. Even if I had to kiss her.
Which, admittedly, wouldn't be such a bad way to get revenge.
"All right, Tiger." Mom muttered, and I pouted again. She chuckled and put a hand on my shoulder.
"It's not like I like her or anything..." I muttered. Then Dad started laughing. "And that's why you're red?"
I scowled, and went up to my room as everyone started leaving. "Love ya, mon boy!" Reiko called out.
Dad shook his head. "You'll get used to it." He told me. Mom placed her head on his shoulder, and I couldn't help but feel warm in my chest as I looked at them. Maybe someday I'd be like them...
My Kiiroishi Lee, and I'm a hybrid created by Yamaki Mitsuo for Hypnos. My parents are Jenrya Lee, who works for the Digital Rights project, and Renamon. I'm my own Tamer, and can digivolve to the form of a Mega. I've had an interesting life so far. How many kids do you know who've been sought after by the government, undergone almost complete mental and physical changes, almost killed their dad, helped to free his own kind, met up with gods, defeated and tamed a horrible monster?
I have a loving family, and even a girlfriend, kind of. And I still love the Moonlight, just like my mom.
Then I hear Mom and Dad call me in for dinner, and hope that Dad didn't cook.
Final Reader/Reviewer Messages!
Devidramon - Thanks a lot for reviewing almost every chapter of this blasted thing. If I hadn't had someone encouraging me, I probably wouldn't have ever gotten this far. And glad you like the Lilymon hybrid, she's dedicated to you.
dragon4532 - Another long-time reviewer, and thanks so much for reviewing! **hugs**
Indatsura - Thank you too! ^_^ It was really nice to have someone respond to my posts at Megchan's board, I wondered if posting there was worth the bother. And it's great that you actually asked questions and things in your reviews, because I like seeing people are interested in my story. Thanks so much for giving me info, too...even if I didn't use it all.

Inuyasha-kun - Thanks for you reviews, too. And it looks like you got your fluff. =P
Sarah-chan - I apologize for the whole phone incident. And your reviews were really funny, but then I'm again...I'm really demented...but thank you so much!
LdOFDestruction - Wow, you're reviewing my fic! I'd just like to say thank you for writing your Renalee stories, I was starting to feel like only I liked the pairing. But now I'm not original...**sniff**, just kidding. Oh, and your Mating Season story is great! (Even though I'm not exactly supposed to be reading such material...^^;;)
And to everyone who even bothered to read this (and not flame me) -- THANK YOU! **hugs**
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay, this is really late...I had most of it written up on the 18th/19th, but I didn't exactly have time to type it up, because yesterday was my birthday! I'm fifteen now! And I feel no different...but I can't believe this story is over. I've been writing since October, and this is by far my longest and most popular story ever. (61 reviews -- I never imagined that! Or 45 chapters!) When I first posted it, I was terrified of being flamed...not many people are keen on crossbreeding and the like. And my ideas for this story have undergone major changes from what I originally had planned. Renamon's change to a humanoid form was intended to occur much earlier and involved a necklace given to her by Yamaki, Toge and Pata definitely were not going to end up with roles the size they got. I only came up with Hellmon near the very end..the story was slanted to end near chapter 33. Renamon and Kiiroishi were going to summon the four soverign, with no human forms mentioned. Kiiroishi and Jenrya were going to be trapped in the digital world for a few years as payback for saving Renamon's life, and that was the original ending.
But the saga isn't completely over yet. I am still planning on doing a journal-type story from Jen's POV from Kiiroishi's first year, with tons of Renjen angst. I'm debating on opening up a site, too -- with some imagery of the characters, downloads and other things, like song spoofs, that I've done about this fic. Yet, I still can't believe that this is over. I've put more into this story than I have into any story ever, and it helped me get over a really rough patch in my life. (This whole year, whole personal life has flipped upside down.) So this story means a lot more to me than anything I've ever written. Kiiroishi, Reiko, Devi, Grey, everybody -- I'll miss you so much. Particularly my little mon boy, I love ya!
See ya 'til the next fic.
